Introduction:
The lexicon issue, particularly the multiplicity of senses associated
to lexical items, has become a matter of growing importance in linguistic
research. This conference means to offer an opportunity for
interdisciplinary debate on the theme, encouraging participation of
scholars from different areas.
Relevant themes include but are not restricted to:
- polisemy and context
- semantics, pragmatics and the lexicon
- computational approaches to the lexicon
- semantic indetermination and pragmatic negotiation
- polisemy, discourse and argument
The event is planned so as to avoid simultaneous activities of any kind.
Therefore, only a limited number of papers will be accepted (eight).
Each paper presentation is allocated a thirty-minute slot, twenty minutes
for the presentation itself and ten minutes for questions and discussion.
Abstracts may be written in Portuguese, French or English.

The conference will take place at Hotel Engenho Velho, a hotel in the

located. The hotel is roughly twenty kilometers away from central
Florianópolis. Participants are thus advised to stay at the conference
venue.
Facilities are quite comfortable and appropriate. The hotel has a swimming
pool, tennis court, football pitch and plenty of natural woods and lagoon
mangrove areas for walks. Wild life watchers will have plenty to enjoy.
Prices in Brazilian reais listed below are full board per person per day.
Participants are asked to do their own reservation arrangements in due
advance, preferably in suitable groups for sharing if double or triple
room choices are selected.
Single room R$ 70,00
Double room R$ 60,00 (each person)
Triple room R$ 55,00 (each person)
The hotel administration should be contacted by the phone:
